*wipes drool off keyboard* Jim like AC4400... I'd swear I posted this one here already. Odd.. Grimy TM: Not quite to the grime stage yet:
Wow! I've gotta say that I had absolutely no idea when I posted what I thought was an ok SP photo from my layout, that this thread would still be alive and well 16 months later, 43 pages long with 419 replies! !!! I think it is a reflection of the strong passion that so many of us feel for the mighty Espee. Long live the scarlet and gray, and keep the pictures coming!!
You said it Dave! This has been a GREAT thread!!! Some great modeling here of one of the best Class 1's ever.
Both of these units have the yellow utility unit (air conditioning) door. Also, notice the rust along the top edge of SP100. Maybe some overheating problem? For myself, that would be a good detail to model.
Gotta agree with you Dave, the SP was and is a much loved railroad. Just looked back through the thread - what an amazing collection of photographs - real and model! And there are even several clean SP diesels!
That's a great shot Jerry! Alister -- nice work on yours also. Nothin says SP like a U50 !! Well, ok, maybe a grungy tunnel motor...
Nice! LOL Jwaldo! that was a good one. We could use that photo for a lot of things we're waiting for in N-scale.
